Castrol Honilo 919 is a very low viscosity, chlorine- and zinc-free neat cutting oil designed for high precision honing and superfinishing operations. It has been especially developed for the bearing industry for use on ferrous and non-ferrous materials and offers built-in corrosion protection for sensitive components.
Applications
- Honing and superfinishing of cast iron, low and high alloy steels, nickel / chromium alloys
- Honing / superfinishing of aluminium and yellow metals in bearing and precision component manufacture
- High productivity honing and finishing operations where extremely fine surface finishes are required
Advantages
- Excellent flushing and lubrication properties help to extend honing stone and finishing tool life and enable outstanding surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
- Very low viscosity and excellent wetting characteristics reduce drag-out to a minimum and result in low product consumption.
- Contains a sulphur regulator which helps to prevent stone loading and supports stable cutting conditions.
- Good filtration characteristics and high oxidation stability increase fluid and bath lifetime.
- Chlorine- and zinc-free formulation can help you to meet environmental and legislative requirements and reduce waste treatment costs.
- Low odour and light colour improve operator acceptance and the overall working environment.
Application notes
- Particularly suitable for bearing and precision components requiring extremely fine finishes and tight tolerances.
- Use with fine filtration and avoid contamination with water or other oils to maximise product life.
- Supplied ready for use as a neat oil – no dilution required.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Castrol Honilo 919
Where is Castrol Honilo 919 typically used?
Castrol Honilo 919 is mainly used in the bearing and precision component industry for high precision honing and superfinishing of steel and non-ferrous parts where extremely fine surface finishes are required.
How does Honilo 919 differ from Honilo 909?
Honilo 919 has a significantly lower viscosity and is tailor-made for high precision honing and superfinishing with minimal drag-out. In addition, it contains a sulphur regulator that helps to prevent tool and stone loading for very stable cutting conditions.
What is the benefit of the built-in corrosion protection?
The built-in corrosion protection helps to protect sensitive bearing and precision components against corrosion during machining and short-term storage, thereby reducing scrap and rework.
